Chapter 26: Rising Storm

True to the system’s promise, Thalia did not pursue Will once he left the dungeon. Frustratingly enough, it meant leaving the dungeon uncleared, but even though he knew that he had to push himself to his limits, he wasn’t stupid enough to try to 1v1 a clan boss.

The system was more than happy to notify him about his new discoveries afterwards.

Boss Tiers:

A boss’ tier is determined by the minimum projected size of the party required to defeat it with some degree of difficulty.

Clan. At the median level of surviving Users on your planet at this time, it would take a miracle for a standard party of four to defeat this boss. Recommended minimum: ten Users.

You have not yet encountered the following boss tiers: Militia. Battalion. Army. Nation. Planet.

Considering what had counted as a squad boss, Will was reasonably sure that at his level, it wouldn’t take ten or more Users to take Thalia down, but Silver 5?

He’d been able to take on Axl because he’d found a plethora of bronze-rank items in the area. Here, finding bronze-rank items was relatively challenging, but silver and gold? Thalia was the first anything he’d seen that was silver rank. Will knew that she wasn’t alone, but it looked like the university he’d returned to was situated in a relatively low-power area.

“I wonder if that’s the case for the entirety of Earth,” he mused. “The number doesn’t seem to be going down that fast, so I’m going to assume that the tutorials popped everyone out in bronze or unformed level areas.”

That said, even if this area was largely bronze or unformed, he’d just seen evidence that there were silver-rankers in this area. Judging from her title, Will assumed Thalia wasn’t even the top of the ranks for the life kingdom. Caiyeri had told him that they had members throughout the metal ranks, which peaked at gold.

Will didn’t want to imagine what fighting a gold-ranker would be like. If he had to, he would, but given literally any other choice, he preferred to get away with his life.

There was risk that he accepted in the process of leveling up, and then there was suicide. Engaging against someone that far above him without equally broken items was just asking for trouble.

He found the rest of the party still clearing an unformed-rank dungeon. Deciding to leave them to their devices, he went to find another solo bronze dungeon, making sure that he was both far away from Everdale and the life kingdom.

This one was measurably easier than the last. The monsters he saw were a mere Bronze 0, which meant they were the first bronze-ranks he was actually a higher level than.

It was challenging in some ways that the meadow dungeon hadn’t offered. This one was a portal-type, looking eerily similar to the Arcadian tunnel systems, and it was full of hollow suits of armor that moved via some otherworldly animating force. This was how Will discovered that his afflictions did not work on every being.
